News about Antoine Griezmann

Mike Maignan reportedly took his France team-mates to task after they suffered defeat against Italy on Friday. Les Bleus got off to a perfect start at the Parc des Princes, with Bradley Barcola firing the hosts into the lead in the opening minute. Federico Dimarco drew Italy level before the interval in the Nations League clash before second-half goals from Davide Frattesi and Giacomo Raspadori condemned the hosts to a humiliating defeat.

Sky Bet are offering four Price Boosts for Monday night's highly-anticipated LaLiga clash between Villarreal and Atletico Madrid.

Los Angeles FC bosses could be making a sensational move fro Athletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann, as he enters the last year of his contract with the Spanish giants. If it were to happen, it would be a significant coup for LAFC bosses, who would be pulling one over on MLS rivals, David Beckham-owned, Inter Miami.  Griezmann, now 33, is known to be keen on a move to the United States, after long being the subject of interest to several MLS clubs in north America.

Spain are favourites to beat France and reach Sunday's Euro 2024 final in Berlin. France have underwhelmed with their performances so far at the tournament, reaching the semi-finals without scoring a single goal from open play.  Luis de la Fuente's side are fresh off eliminating tournament hosts Germany and are 4/5 with Sky Bet to reach their first European Championship final in 12 years.

France midfielder Adrien Rabiot has admitted that team-mate Kylian Mbappe is having a 'rough' time at Euro 2024. Despite his status as one of the standout players in world football, Mbappe has scored just once in four appearances at the tournament so far - a penalty against Poland. Mbappe's cause hasn't been helped by the broken nose that he suffered in France's opening group game against Austria, which has meant that the forward has had to wear a mask in subsequent matches. 

Antoine Griezmann has reacted angrily to French media posting videos of Didier Deschamps' team practicing penalties ahead of their clash with Spain. Despite entering Euro 2024 as the pre-tournament favourites, France were far from their all-conquering best in the group stage. A narrow victory over Austria was followed by draws with the Netherlands and Poland that saw them qualify second from Group D to set up a clash with rivals Belgium.

Heavyweights France and Belgium go head-to-head in the round of 16 at Euro 2024 on Monday. France are 2/5 favourites to win and progress to the last-eight, while the Red Devils are wider at 7/4. Elsewhere, in the Goalscorers market, Kylian Mbappe is the best-backed at 7/2 to score first.

IAN HERBERT AT BVB STADION DORTMUND: Oh yes, the mask fitted and Kylian Mbappe wore it so well, ripping it off to take the acclaim after a converted penalty kick. But one player doesn't make a team and after Poland pulled the game back, the French nation was destined for angst in the days ahead. The scoreline reflects a team searching for the same union of all the talents as Spain. France looked like a one-man operation at times, with the same struggle for the fluidity which had kept Antoine Griezmann on the bench. Painfully bereft of someone to take and convert the ball which fizzed into the six-yard box when Ousmane Demebele - one of the few other Bleus capable of breaking the lines. The good news, from a French perspective, is that a hoodoo is lifted for Mbappe, whose converted kick spot early in the second half - after Jakub Kiwior had clumsily taken down Demebele - finally brought him a European Championships goal.

OLIVER HOLT IN LEIPZIG: The man in the black mask came out on to the pitch at the Red Bull Arena for the warm-up before the match and went through all his routines. He adjusted the mask gingerly a few times, getting used to how it felt, trying to make sure it was best protecting his broken nose. He warmed up on the touchline in the second half as the match between France and the Netherlands remained stuck in a stalemate and watched as Olivier Giroud and Kingsley Coman, were introduced as attacking second half substitutions. He watched as France, and particularly Antoine Griezmann, who had been drafted into attack in his place, missed a series of gilt-edged chances and still the France manager, Didier Deschamps, decided he did not want to risk him. And so the match between two giants ended goalless and unfulfilled. It ended with that nagging feeling that it had been waiting for something that had never arrived. It had been waiting for Kylian Mbappe.

France and the Netherlands both booked their places in the last-16 of Euro 2024 after playing out a not-so-thrilling stalemate in Leipzig.  A wasteful French attack - which was making do without the injured Kylian Mbappe - will be left to rue a series of opportunities which would have sewn up winning the group.  The Dutch were determined in their play and thought they had won it themselves when youngster Xavi Simons thrashed in, only for VAR to overrule it following a lengthy check. Here, Mail Sport's NATHAN SALT runs the rule over the two teams.

Before his man of the match performance in France's 1-0 European Championship win over Austria, N'Golo Kante had been in hibernation from international football for 21 months.  His July 2023 £86million-a-year deal with Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia seemed to signal his being sent out to pasture following a torrid spell with injuries in the latter stages of his time at Chelsea.  A nasty long-term hamstring problem saw him play just nine games in his final season in London and ruled him out of the 2022 World Cup. 

Sky Bet are offering a Double Up Boost for France's eye-catching Euro 2024 opener against Austria on Monday night. Didier Deschamps' side enter every competition as one of the favourites and it's little wonder given the talent in their ranks. This tournament is no different as Les Bleus kick off their campaign with a tricky fixture against Ralf Ragnick's in-form outfit. The Netherlands stole an early march in Group D after coming from behind to beat Poland but all attention is now on the side that has reached the final in three of their last four major tournaments.

Kylian Mbappe is an odds-on favourite according to Sky Bet to be France's top goalscorer at Euro 2024. Mbappe scored 44 goals for PSG across all competitions in 2023-24. Additionally, the superstar winger won the Golden Boot at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. With that being said - there are a number of other French players who could challenge Mbappe at this year's tournament and become the team's leading goalscorer. Antoine Griezmann and Olivier Giroud are the second and third-favourite according to the Sky Bet - with the valued at 13/2 and 8/1 respectively.

The anticipated impact of raucous home crowds has seen Germany rated among the contenders for the title, though, few consider them to be the standout team. That honour has been reserved for England or France, who each boast squads brimming with quality in host of areas. While the likes of Spain, Portugal and even the Netherlands are also seen as threats. But, according to data from analytics firm Twenty First Group. Die Mannschaft have the highest average 'Player Quality' of any side in the competition.

Fans have ripped into former Republic of Ireland winger Kevin Kilbane, after his comments on Bukayo Saka ahead of Euro 2024. Kilbane was part of the TSN Sports studio team previewing the tournament, which kicks off next, and was putting together a draft of the best XI from the players at the finals alongside fellow pundit Stephen Caldwell. Kilbane's team included some of the summer's big hitters, including Kylian Mbappe, Declan Rice and Bruno Fernandes, but the ex-Sunderland man wasn't too bothered to miss out on Arsenal star Saka. As Caldwell included him in his XI, Kilbane claimed that he wouldn't pick the 22-year-old due to his tendency to play on small injuries - choosing France's Antoine Griezmann instead.

Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann could leave the club for a budget price during the summer transfer window due to a little-known clause in the Frenchman's existing contract. The Frenchman enjoyed another strong season under the guidance of Atletico boss Diego Simeone , scoring 16 goals and registering six assists in 33 LaLiga games. His performances secured him a place in Didier Deschamps' France squad ahead of the upcoming European Championship and Griezmann could be heading to a new club after the tournament.

Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams scored against Atletico Madrid after accusing home supporters of making monkey noises towards him. Williams pointed to the colour of his skin during his celebration minutes after referee Juan Martinez briefly stopped the LaLiga game following the alleged racist abuse. Atletico players Antoine Griezmann and Jose Maria Gimenez appeared to be appealing to the section of fans to stop the chanting before play resumed.

After a whirlwind evening at the Signal Iduna Park, Borussia Dortmund booked themselves into the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in a decade. The German trailed 2-1 heading into the tie but quickly flipped the game on it's head after first-half strikes from Julian Brandt and Ian Maatsen.  Following a triple substitution by Diego Simeone at the interval, Atletico hit back with Angel Correa and a Mats Hummels own-goal to shock the home crowd.

Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann is the subject of one of two Price Boost offers from Sky Bet ahead of Tuesday night's Champions League clash.  Atletico head to Germany 2-1 up in the tie after Rodrigo De Paul and Samuel Lino - before one from Sebastien Haller for Dortmund - secured a 2-1 win for the Spanish giants.  As such, they are heavy favourites to progress from the tie, priced at 2/5 by Sky Bet, with Dortmund at 7/4 despite hosting the clash. 

After weeks of anticipation, the Champions League came back with a bang for their quarter-final fixtures.  With 18 goals from just four matches, fans across Europe were treated to a handful of thrilling games, ranging from Arsenal's draw with Bayern to Barcelona's comeback at PSG.  It was a difficult night for both Arsenal and their title rivals Manchester City, who were held to a dramatic 3-3 draw with Spanish giants Real Madrid. 

Atletico Madrid earned a 2-1 lead over Borussia Dortmund after surviving a late scare in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. Diego Simeone's side had a dream start against their Bundesliga opponents with Rodrigo de Paul seizing on a loose pass from Ian Maatsen to give the hosts a fourth minute lead.  A rattled Dortmund were punished for another defensive error after a mix-up between Mats Hummels and Nico Sclotterbeck, with Samuel Lino finishing after a fine Antonie Griezmann pass.

Atletico Madrid have never lost at home in the knockout stages of the Champions League under Simeone, showing how tough a challenge it will be for Edin Terzic's side to prevail in the first leg of the quarter-final. Jadon Sancho scored for the Bundesliga side in their last Champions League outing against PSV Eindhoven, and the loan signing from Manchester United has been included in a 'Featured RequestABet' on Sky Bet, alongside Antoine Griezmann.
